Usually I remember the history of my plants. But this\u00a0Leycesteria formosa<\/a>\u00a0aka Himalayan Honeysuckle has got me flummoxed. I must have purchased it, but I sure don’t remember. Or perhaps I got it at the local bloggers’ exchange?<\/p>\n

Bright green foliage with jewel-like panicles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lovely arching habit with pointed heart-shaped leaves. (Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mingles nicely with other plants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The reason\u00a0this Himalayan Honeysuckle is\u00a0on my mind, is that\u00a0I’ve been exploring locations where the dog\u00a0has been digging under the fence. We had a trainer over recently. She said the solution is to give Chiquita her own digging spot. I missed the part about how we\u00a0do that. But it seems like a good idea–in theory.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Oh look, there’s Chiquita now behind the bare bamboo-esque stalks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In reviewing for this post, I noticed that Dancing Oaks Nursery recommends cutting to the ground before spring. Here’s a question for perhaps Pacific Northwest Gardeners: since it’s been so mild, did I miss the opportunity to cut back? I’m already seeing\u00a0budding along the healthy green stalks.<\/p>\n

Apologies to the famous Tim Vojt<\/a>–for yet another plant that can’t survive Ohio winters.<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
